HEATER METALLIC COMES AND CURLING-IRONS.

Application filed May 7, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and Stateof Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Heater for Metallic Combsand Curling-Irons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention relates to an improved heater for metallic combs andcurling irons, designed so as to be simple and cheap in construction,readily portable, and thoroughly eitlicient in practical use.

My invention is fully described and illustrated in the followingspecification and accompanying drawings, and the novel features thereofspecified in the claim annexed to the said specification.

My improved heater for metallic combs and curling irons is representedin the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation ofheater with the lid closed. Fig. 2 is the end elevation of the heater,with thelid, closed. Fig. 3 is a plan of the heater with the lid closed.Fig. A shows a cross section of the heater at line H in Fig. 3. Fig. 5is a side elevation with lid raised and shifted to a resting position,holding comb or curling iron. Fig. 6 is an end elevation showing comb inposition. Fig. 7 is plan showing lid shifted to rest position ready toreceive curling iron.

A represents the base or container of the heater, made preferably ofaluminum or other desirable metal, which may be made in suitabledimensions.

B represents a cavity in the container A, filled with asbestos or othersuitable material, to be saturated with alcohol or other suitablecombustible for heating metal combs or curling irons.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 18, I916.

Serial No. 26,628.

C represents legs on the container A, one at each of the four corners ofthe container.

D is a lid adjustably hinged at F to the container A, so that when thelid is raised to the position shown in Figs. 5 and 6,'it may he slidupon its hinges, as shown in Fig. 5, so that the racks E of the lid donot register with the slots G, but rest upon the container A as shown inFigs. 5 and 6. In this position the comb or curling iron Il may beplaced on the racks E over the ligl'ited container A, and when heated tothe proper degree, the comb or curling iron may be removed and the flameextinguished by ad justing the lid D on its hinges F until the racks Eregister with the slots G, when the lid will, by force of gravity,assume the closed position as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, therebyextinguishing the flame from the receptacle B.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is In a curling iron and metal-combheater, the combination of a container formed with a cavityadapted tocontain asbestos saturated With a liquid fuel, and with slots adjacentto the ends of said cavity, and an adjustable lid provided with curlingiron and metal comb supporting racks on its under side, said slots beingadapted to receive said rack when the lid is closed.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name hereto in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

GEORGE W. THOMPSON.
